両大戦間期の農家現物消費―予備的考察―
Self-provisioned Consumption by Farm Families in Interwar Japan -A Preliminary Exploration-
要旨Abstract
本稿は，両大戦間期における農家の消費行動について，1931(昭和6)-41(昭和16)年の農家経済調査の個票データを用いて分析した予備的考察である．分析の中心は，戦前の農家世帯において重要であった，食料の現物消費である．対象となる時代は，とりわけ養蚕業を営む農家世帯の現金収入へ大きな打撃を与えた．昭和恐慌の影響が色濃く残る，ゆるやかな回復期にあった．そのため，対象となる農家世帯を，個票データのみで可能な「養蚕農家」と「非養蚕農家」と区分し，分析をおこなった．
分析の結果，恐慌からの回復期に農家所得が上昇傾向をしめすものの，農家世帯の消費行動において，その購入割合は増加せず，現物消費が重要な役割を果たしていた．とりわけ養蚕農家においては，恐慌の影響が最も大きかった1931年を基準にすると，農家所得の伸びと食料消費における現物消費割合との間には，負の関係が認められたのである．
The purpose of this paper is to explore a pilot sample of Farm Household Survey micro-data with respect to farm family consumption in the period between 1931 and 1941. The focus is on self-provisioned consumption, which was unmistakably important in the prewar farm household economy. However, the paper is concerned with the impact of the Great Depression on the relationship between expenditures for purchased and self-provisioned goods, since the Depression hit the farm economy's cash-earning sector, sericulture, hardest. Thus, by dividing the sample into sericulture and non-sericulture households, it is demonstrated that between 1931, the bottom year, and 1936 — a period during which a pessimistic mood lingered despite a trend of modestly improving farm household income — a rise in the ratio of real farm income compared to that for 1931 did not result in an increase in the proportion of market-oriented expenditure. For the sericulturalists, even a negative correlation is apparent between the farm income ratio and the proportion of self-provisioned consumption.
